The following pages are the
thoughts, pictures and story of the development of Panda Monium, our Robot
Wars UK 1998 entry. The story is told pretty much as it happened and was
written as the events unfolded. This means that some 'obvious' things may
not be there while other texts are out of context. I don't apologise for
this - it gives a more realistic view of how it all came together (and
often fell apart). If any of this helps you in your own robot building
then that's great. If it entertains you at least, that's good too. If not,
sorry but that's the way it happened!
